Pre-Halloween Happenings

In the days leading up to Halloween, the girls partook in some fun Halloween activities.  Sullivan was invited to go to a Trunk or Treat event at her friend's church.  She came home with a bucket full of candy and beyond thrilled to have been able to trick or treat days before Halloween even took place.

Quinn and Sullivan also carved pumpkins a couple days before Halloween. I predicted that it would be another year of them picking out their designs, being interested in "carving" for a hot minute and then Ryan or I finishing out the task by ourselves.  Let's be honest, that is how we have always rolled around here.

I am happy to report I was wrong, wrong, wrong!  This year the girls were SO engaged and so into wanting to carve their pumpkins.  It was a lot of fun to see them so excited.

Quinn chose to make a disco ball pumpkin.  We found a new carving kit that punches holes in the pumpkin.  It has a colorful strobe light that goes inside.  It turned out very neat.

Sullivan chose to carve a spider in her pumpkin.  The amount of detail that was involved and the amount of patience Sullivan had was impressive!

The finished products turned out great...
